Main color cab will be a dark blue, accent color of black. Tilt frame for hood will be a dark gun metal as will wheels. Engine Cumins red. Its been a long wait...but now the $$ starts to flow....OUT....

Good news! Paint guy is starting work on TOOD on Monday!

Answered my own question: asked a work buddy at the engine plant and he says you CAN, but not recommended....too much going on in the 24V to make it work right.....unless someone here knows a workaround

FWIW is a 2002 engine.

Quick question: for my next project truck I have an option to get a 24V 6bt w/ a 6 speed trans....is there a way to push this back to a mechanical system and not have to have an ECM? Swap the pump for a p-pump is all that is needed, what else maybe?

Progress

Tail light buckets

Rear "bumper" work progress: fab'd and welded on mounts machined areas down for the backup camera and trailer connection pod so they "click" in place dropped tubing off at my buddies to have him part off pieces on his lathe for my tailight buckets

Running boards DONE! Bump outs added for cab mounts.

Running boards and bumper dry fit

Going to his place today to dry fit the ribs and bumper. No paint yet.....maybe june....sigh

Continuing to work (slowly) on the rear bumper and got my sheet metal bent for the "fuel tank" storage.

Running boards ready for dry fit. I know I have notch something for the cab mounts.

Thanks....it's "tigerwood" out of Brazil....super hard and dense. 30 year ground contact (not that is will see the ground). Quick wipe with an oil and good to go! Sadly no, my painter is STILL working on getting his building inspected/approved. I think he's gonna start here in April...will keep you informed.

Bed wood showed up today
